• What is RDBMS?
• What is SQL?
 INTRODUCTION
 What is ADO.NET ?
• Its is a part of .Net framework technology that allows
us to access and modify data from different data
source.
• It support many types of data source such as Oracle ,
SQL server…etc
• The .Net framework provides a number of data
provider that we can use.
• ADO.NET provide a bridge between the front end
and the backend database.
 ASP.NET Data Source Controls

Name Description
SqlDataSource Connects data-binding controls to
SQL databases
AccessDataSource Connects data-binding controls to
Access databases
XmlDataSource Connects data-binding controls to
XML data
ObjectDataSource Connects data-binding controls to
data components
SiteMapDataSource Connects site navigation controls to
site map data
 What is ADO.NET ?

• A rich set of classes, interfaces, structures and

enumerated types that manage data access from
different types of data stores
• Features
– A robust disconnected model.
– Integrate XML support.
– Data from varied Data Sources
– Familiarity to ADO programming model.
– Enhanced performance

 ADO.NET architecture
 Microsoft introduced ADO a data access technology for
connecting to the database in 1996.

 ADO is an object oriented database access technology that

supports both connected and disconnected mode of
operation.

 You can use ADO.NET to perform CRUD

(Create,Read,Update,Delete) operation in your application.

 It also provides support for XML data access and it has a rich
object model.

Data Access - LINQ
 What is LINQ?
 Language Integrated Query (LINQ, pronounced
"link").
 LINQ is a uniform programming model for
querying and manipulating data with a
consistent model from any data source.
 LINQ is just another tool for embedding SQL
queries into code.
 Extends powerful query capabilities to C#,
VB.NET languages.

 LINQ Features
• Language Integration
• Single general purpose Declarative Programming
• Standard Query Operators that allow
• traversal, filter, and projection operations
• Transparency Across Different Type Systems
• Query expressions benefit from
– rich metadata
– compile-time syntax checking
– static typing
– IntelliSense
 The Syntax
from id in source
join id in source on expr equals expr
let id = expr
where condition
orderby ordering, ordering, … }
select expr | group expr by key

var contacts = Query

from c in customers expressions
where c.City == "Hove"
select new { c.Name, c.Phone };
Lambda
var contacts = expressions
customers
.Where(c => c.City == "Hove")
.Select(c => new { c.Name, c.Phone });

Extension
methods
 Query Operators
Project Select <expr>
Filter Where <expr>, Distinct
Test Any(<expr>), All(<expr>)
Join <expr> Join <expr> On <expr> Equals <expr>
Group Group By <expr>, <expr> Into <expr>,
<expr>
Group Join <decl> On <expr> Equals <expr>
Into <expr>
Aggregate Count(<expr>), Sum(<expr>), Min(<expr>),
Max(<expr>), Avg(<expr>)
Partition Skip [ While ] <expr>, Take [ While ]
<expr>
Set Union, Intersect, Except
Order Order By <expr>, <expr> [ Ascending |
Descending ]
 LINQ to Objects
• It is the use of LINQ queries with any IEnumerable or
• IEnumerable(T) collection directly, without the use of an
intermediate
• LINQ provider or API such as LINQ to SQL or LINQ to XML.
• It allows query any enumerable collections such as
– List(T),
– Array, or
– Dictionary(TKey, TValue).
• The collection may be user-defined or may be returned by a .NET
Framework API.
LINQ to Objects

public void TestLinqTOObjects( )

{ string[] tools ={ "Tablesaw“,"Bandsaw",
Planer“,"Jointer", "Drill", "Sander" };
var list = from t in tools
select t;
DropDownList1.DataSource =list;
Page.DataBind();
}
 LINQ to SQL
• Used for managing relational data as objects.
• Maps the relational data model to an object
model in .NET language.
• Translates into SQL the language-integrated
queries and sends them to the database for
execution.
• LINQ to SQL translates the results back to
objects that you can work with in your own
programming language.
 LINQ to SQL
Accessing relational data with LINQ
[Table(Name="Customers")]
public class Customer
{
public string CustomerID;
public string City;
}

// DataContext takes a connection string

DataContext db = new DataContext("c:\\northwind\\
northwnd.mdf");

// Get a typed table to run queries

Table<Customer> Customers = db.GetTable<Customer>();

// Query for customers from London

var q = from c in Customers
where c.City == "London"
select c;
 LINQ to SQL
Allow developers to access database as
object in c#.

By using LINQ we are able to use LINQ

query operators and methods instead of
learning SQL.
 LINQ TO XML - XLINQ
• API to work with XML in .NET with the power of LINQ.
• XLINQ Features :
– It provides an in-memory XML programming interface that leverages
– The .NET Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) Framework.
– It provides functionality to read, write, and manipulate XML
documents.
– XLinq lets you run SQL like queries on XML documents.
– It works as cleaner, simpler, smaller and faster XML API
